Complete Results

CANFIELD, Ohio --
The Allegheny College men's cross country team logged a pair of top-30 finishes at the 2026 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championships Saturday afternoon at the Gorby Family Championship Cross Country Course.

Of the eight teams with enough runners to post a score, Allegheny came in sixth place. The Gators amassed 163 points, beating both Waynesburg University (191) and Westminster College (202). Geneva College repeated as conference champions with a race-leading 32 points.

Second-year runner Tyler Biss (Beaver, Pa./Beaver) continued to lead the pack for the Gators, crossing the finish line in 24th place. He was named an All-PAC Honorable Mention for the second year in a row with a time of 27:53.60. Biss was more than 12 seconds quicker than his time from last year's PAC title race. He was also recognized at the meet as Allegheny's representative on the annual PAC Men's Cross Country Sportsmanship Team.

Three spots behind Biss in 27rd was freshman Lukas Czegan (Greensburg, Pa./Greensburg Central Catholic). Czegan narrowly missed All-PAC accolades, which were given to the top-21 runners from championship-eligible teams, but ran his second-fastest eight-kilometer time of the season at 28:09.26.
